Inane rambling ahead.

First a Happy Birthday to wisdomeagle, the girl of the gleeing fame - hope you'll have a gleeful day today *g*

Sometimes you'll be reading a fic and it'll blow you away - you'll reach a point when you're not sure whether it hurts so good or if it hurts, period but man, you're compelled to read it because you can't not stop, it's that good. Still, I had to go to the last part of the story I've been following and read the ending because I couldn't stand the pressure and I needed to know. Good thing I did too. And I'm telling you again, I wish people included some warnings on their fics *nods* Or include them at the bottom of the story so that people who hate warnings can ignore them and people who want to know what to expect may have the choice to check them out. But now that I've - willingly - spoilt myself, I can go back to the part I'd reached and read the rest - I'll just brace myself. I also know the whole Warning issue is old and in the end, if a writer doesn't want to include a warning it's obviously their right - but I have my preferences as well, so there you go :-)

Anyway.

Boy am I tired these days! Insomnia still hasn't left and yesterday I spent the day in a perpetual state of light-headedness. I also went through a phase of hyperactivity and er, sorry mom lol Didn't last long though. One of the best signs that tells me I really am tired - apart from the way that I'm light headed and, well, just tired - is when my sensitivity is amplified. So yesterday I was watching that documentary on people who "adopted" baby!bears whose mothers had been killed - don't know how you say baby bear in English, btw - and fed them and then freed them in a controlled environment since they couldn't return to the wild - each baby!bear then being adopted in turn by an adult bear, and there was this baby!b- wait! Would that be bear cub, then? Baby!bear sounds cuter though - so anyway there was this baby!bear - whose name was Charlie - who needed to be adopted by two mama!bears, Cassie and Louise and Cassie wanted him but Louise had problem at first and the "foster parents" had to let Charlie go but everyone worried Louise might hurt him and dude! You would have thought Charlie was my baby lol Also? The documentary was way more interesting that I make it sound, really *nods*

Oh and speaking of Charlie - yesterday's L&O: SVU episode was the one with Boone/Ian Somerhalder. So I was watching the episode which dealt with a guy raping his brother and then going on a raping and killing rampage and ending up in prison, and one of them was called Charlie and I said to myself: "Self? If you were someone else, you would take this episode as a sign that you need to stop writing incest." Fortunately, I'm not that person ;-)

And I'm thinking everyone else will be glad when I'll be able to sleep properly again, right? lol

Which part did he play? The rapist, the raped brother or another victim?

Feel with you concerning imsomnia problems. I tend to have them once in a while and I know how much it sucks. Unfortunately I have no advice on how to deal with it. With me, the insomnia disappears after a few days without having to do anything special about it. Sorry!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

He was the rapist.

Insomnia sucks *sigh* And I received quite a lot of suggestions coming from my flist re: the insomnia a couple weeks ago, but I think my mind just needs to realise that Things are over now, and it can relax. I'll have to be patient, I guess.

[dont-callmebabe.livejournal.com]

Trop mimi les nours ! lol !

Pour ton problème de sommeil, je te filerais un truc aromathérapique dimanche, c'est un spray aux plantes que tu vaporises sur ton oreiller, ça a été très efficace pour moi - Ça te coûte rien d'essayer.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Je dirais pas non pour essayer ton truc. En même temps je me dis que je sais ce qui ne va pas donc bon... va juste falloir que ça se calme là-dedans, mais si ça peut aider, je suis preneuse, c'est clair - merci d'avance *g*

So what fandom was that fic in? TS, SG, LotRips, SN, Numb3rs? Erm, any of the other million fandoms that you read *g*

That programme sounds cool, poor Charlie baby!bear. I take it he was okay in the end?

"Self? If you were someone else, you would take this episode as a sign that you need to stop writing incest." Fortunately, I'm not that person ;-)

And thank goodness for that!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

TS, SG, LotRips, SN, Numb3rs? Erm, any of the other million fandoms that you read *g*

Dude, you do make it sound like I have a million fandoms to read in. Okay so it's not in the list as it was Angel - happy now?

And thank goodness for that!

I have to say I'm quite happy with that too lol

And I'm telling you again, I wish people included some warnings on their fics *nods* Or include them at the bottom of the story so that people who hate warnings can ignore them and people who want to know what to expect may have the choice to check them out.

Yes! I want my warnings 'cause, well yeah, I'm a wimp, and I have to be in a specific kind of a mood for certain stories, so a warning before I start reading a story is always nice. That way I don't have to stop in the middle (or at any other point, when I get the feeling this isn't going in a direction I'm gonna like) to read the ending (and the stop reading if I don't like it).

Always thought insomnia sounded like a bitch, so I'm sorry you have to deal with it. *hugs*

So wait, everything worked out for baby!bear Charlie in the end, right?

Oh and speaking of Charlie - yesterday's L&O: SVU episode was the one with Boone/Ian Somerhalder.

Oh, I saw that episode! Hey, at least you got the whole you could take this episode as a sign that you need to stop writing incest feeling, I just kept thinking how it was a pity he had to rape his brother and how much better things would be were they both interested. *has a sick, sick mind* :P

I hate character death with a passion. I know they make great and intense and emotional stories, most of them are beautifully written - that's not the problem, the problem is I don't want to read them - or when I do - very rarely, I want to do it on my own terms.

And before reading the story I mentioned, I sure wish I'd known what was in store for me before finding out two out of the three characters I was reading about end up dead!

And, like, I love dark stories, non-con and stuff - when I see that kind of warnings, it's usually an incentive for me to read. If the writer omits to include them, I won't have a problem stumbling upon that kind of theme in the story - kinda like the opposite - but dude, imagine someone who loathes those stories? Wouldn't be fun at all.

Anyway, I read the ending first and it was okay *shrugs*

Everything worked out just fine for baby!bear Charlie, yes *g* I should have given the result of the operation :-)

I just kept thinking how it was a pity he had to rape his brother and how much better things would be were they both interested.

Oh yeah, you're so sick! Never change!

I think I might have joined you in the sleepless club.. it's 2:18 and i really don't feel like sleeping at all - this is hell! *giggles* but hail to LJ rambling :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

C'est des ces moments là où on adore LJ... enfin encore plus que d'habitude, c'est à dire lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

oui mais c'est en general a ce moment la qu'on se retrouve au milieu d'un trou noir - quand ta flist est toute vide et personne ne post *giggles*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

T'as qu'à pas habiter en dehors du continuum espace temps normal!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

mmm... pas con comme idee... tu crois que Larry et Charlie seraient d'accord pour qu'on en discute?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

On aurait pas le temps de dire plus que "continuum" et Larry serait parti - entrainant Charlie, évidemment.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

ils sont choux tous les deux a jouer avec leurs theories dans leur coin... trop mignons!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Franchement je les trouve adorables tous les deux, tu parles d'une bonne équipe *g*

[spikedluv]

Yes, warnings are your friend! I hate surprises of the bad, awful variety. Hatehatehate! If you think I won't read your story because you warn about something, well, then, you're probably right, but not warning me will cause me to look at every single one of your other stories with a skunk eye and possibly pass them all by because I don't trust you!

Yes, bear cub, but I really liked baby!bear as well. *g*

"Self? If you were someone else, you would take this episode as a sign that you need to stop writing incest." Fortunately, I'm not that person ;-)

Thank god you're not that person! *snorts coke out nose*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm like you, a firm defender of the Warn Us Please cause - and dude, it's a good thing I checked out the ending when I did because I would have been so upset... and not the good way, either *shudder* So at least I knew what I had to expect...

Bear cub, it is, then thanks *g* But yeah, baby!bear is still my favourite lol

Thank god you're not that person!

Happy to hear you agree with me lol

[simonesa.livejournal.com]

I remember that episode. I saw it after Lost so I completely identified him as Boone. The poor guy cannot escape the incest thing. He was really scary too.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

poor guy cannot escape the incest thing.

Nor the gay thing apparently - it made me laugh when I saw that lol And yeah, definitely freaky *shudder*

[wisdomeagle]

glee!yay :)

[jennixen.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say, I hope you're ok and that the riots don't affect you.
*hugs*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks for the concern! Don't worry, the riots haven't spread to my suburb *hugs*

[jennixen.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. I saw it on the news today, it looks kinda scary.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It certainly got totally out of control - it kinda took us by surprise, too. I mean sure, those riots happen but they usually don't last more than one or two nights... and they don't spread to other cities/départements like that one did - certainly not to that exten.

I feel so sorry for those people who are basically taken hostage by those riots.

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Yes, "bear cub". (I agree that baby!bear is cuter.)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks *g* (and it is, isn't it? lol)
